In any type of work environment, and in my opinion, especially teaching, being organized is very important. Organization ensures that the class remains on-task and does not have to stop for any unexpected delay. Before I started teaching at the college level, I taught high school, where organization is key. I found it very important to have the entire 9 weeks planned out and all assignments ready. I was able to take this organization and apply it to 10-week terms at the college level. When producing the syllabus for any one class, it is important to know what information is to be covered and in what amount of time. I find when starting a new term, I reflect back on the last term to see what worked and what did not. I may have to re-organize the assignments and the time length in which to give the students to work on them. By having everything organized in a binder broken down by weeks, I am able to view the material and go from there. In order to help my organization of class materials (handouts, readings, PowerPoint presentations), I find that taking a 10-15 minute reflection after each class helps. I keep a notepad at my desk where I write down what worked and what did not; what I want to add to the course next term and what I want to take out; and even write notes and comments on responses from the students to that days lesson. By reflection on the class, it helps me to stay organized and be prepared for future classes.
